MAGAThread XVII: All Things NOT Impeachment

[San Lumen]

and then you'll complain when even more farms go under

Those funds don't typically go to small farms, they go to corporate farms that are fully capable of supporting themselves. They just lobby harder for extra cash.

If that is true then why do we make such a big deal about them? They ought to be cut.

Why do people who want money make a big deal out of receiving money?

Again, they lobby harder than most. When they have billions at their disposal, they can buy out small farms and pretend that cutting subsidies will hurt the common farmer. They're masters of advertising.

But don't common farmers know they arent getting any money from them?

[Fartsniffage]

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and work harder. What's the problem?

Reaganomics is a meme.

So is the idea that individuals owe some part of the national debt. Shame on you.

Pretty sure the common farmer is somewhat financially aware, yes.

They get the leftovers. That's the insidious genius of it, the corporations leave some behind for small farmers to justify their own leeching.

Im not following. The corporate farms give some of the money to common farmers or the common farmer gets some of the money from the government?

Maybe it's high time to break up the Zaibatsus of America. *thinking*

We're a long way from Zaibatsus, to be fair. But yeah, corporate politics are bad juju.

[Gormwood]

At this point they will call any Democrat a socialist its their new favorite word. Yet there are many programs today that are socialism such as medicare, medicaid, social security and food stamps. I wonder how many in red states would support getting rid of those because they hate socialism so much

Yes, we should get rid of all those things.

Aside from the "Got Mine, Fuck You" vibes, eliminating social programs won't even make a dent in the debt like reducing say, military spending will.

[Telconi]

The Republicans fantasize that the American public has been fnorded to the word "socialist" and immediately visualize Josef Stalin every time they hear it.

None of these things are socialism...

The government gives most of the money to corporate farms and token amounts to small farms.

Yes, we should get rid of all those things.

Aside from the "Got Mine, Fuck You" vibes, eliminating social programs won't even make a dent in the debt like reducing say, military spending will.

Sure it would. Military spending only occupies the majority of discretionary spending.

Oops. Or is it?

Then farm subsides should be eliminated. It would save a ton of money. Cutting military spending by half wouldn’t be a bad idea either

[Fartsniffage]

Yes they are.

You honestly think that government programs to provide services or money to people aren't socialism?

[Telconi]

You honestly think that government programs to provide services or money to people aren't socialism?

Of course.

[Fartsniffage]

Of course.

Love you sexy.

[Telconi]

Of course.

Love you sexy.

Don't you have better things to do with your time?

[Gormwood]

Love you sexy.

Don't you have better things to do with your time?

Obviously you don't. :^]

[Fartsniffage]

Love you sexy.

Don't you have better things to do with your time?

I could ask you to tell me how social programs aren't socialism. But you'd bullshit and lie. So I'm gonna stick with me loving you.

[Washington Resistance Army]

I will though. Social programs aren't socialism because they have nothing to do with the means of production or who controls them or how they're controlled.
